That looks really cool. Like it came from a comic book. Please update with a range report. What's the trigger like?

The trigger is OK. In single action, the pull is very light (don't have my gauge on me at the moment), but slightly mushy... it doesn't feel like a typical single action revolver trigger. Double action is very smooth, but just a tad heavy for my taste. I certainly wouldn't say the trigger is bad, but it's not amazing either. We'll see how it feels after I put a number of rounds downrange

It indicates if the hammer is cocked. The hammer is internal; the "hammer" you can see from the outside is actually a cocking lever, and even if you cock the hammer, it returns to the forward position.

"Just picked it up a few days ago! I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I love how it feels in the hand - I'm normally not a fan of wooden grips on revolvers, but so far I like it. . . ."

Truly excellent photography.

But I am still having a hard time seeing the beauty of the firearm itself.

I guess the classic design is too deeply embedded in my mind as the norm.

They convert it to single-action only, either by removing a piece or installing a modified part (I'm honestly not sure), then you can convert it back after buying it. I suppose SAE would be a more appropriate term to use!

As weird and complex as their internals look, I still seem to want to get one. Good-looking guns and the low bore axis is quite desirable.

I have a 40DS, the 4 inch barreled one.
It's my favorite revolver to shoot and the one I'm most accurate with.
I've put 1200 rounds of 38spl +p through it without a hiccup.
I've got revolvers that are considered "nicer" than this (eg pythons), but this is the one I like the best.
I'll be keeping it and looking for a two inch snubbie
